    Optogenics Lab

    I am considering using Optogenics (located in Syracuse, New York) for lens work in the future. I have always appreciated and valued the opinions of my fellow optiboard members. I'm wondering if any of you are currently using Optogenics and what your experience has been.

    I am looking for a high quality lab with reasonable prices and turn around time. Again, quality is of utmost importance to me.

    I'll look forward to hearing your replies.

    Regards,
    hip chic

    I'm not sure whether we should be posting lab reviews on the board. Steve? Harry?

    If you want, I'll PM you. I've used OG many times in the past.

    Ohhhh...thanks for bringing that up. I definitely don't want to break any rules.

    I'd love to hear your thoughts privately then...and any one else's for that matter.

    thanks,

    As far as I know......Optogenics is now a fully owned ESSILOR lab, if that is of any interest.

    Redhot Jumper Optogenics

    They have been an essilor lab for quite a while, I belive about 5-6 years, it is still run by Rob and Ron, and have some of the finest customer service personell and lab people you could know. I have used them in the past for 11 years, never a complaint, and knowing that they are an essilor coating lab, and a zeiss coating lab, with no complaints from either company, says it all, i think!

    Use them, you will benefit from it!

    :cheers:

    Hate to say it but the grapevine says they do good work and that they are SUPER FAST-even with AR

    A BIG thank you to all who responded to my post...both publicly and privately.

    I am definitely going to give Optogenics a try. I feel much more confident with my decision after reading of your experiences.

    Thanks again,
